Apples Foster Aka Apple Pie Minus The Crust

• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/2 cup demerara sugar
• 1 star anise, substitute 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 4 large crisp apples, peeled and sliced, one per person
• 1/4 cup calvados or 1/4 cup apple jack
• 4 scoops vanilla ice cream or 4 scoops creme fraiche, for serving

1. 1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter and cook until it foams. Once foaming subsides, stir in sugar and spice and cook 1 minute to allow flavors to meld.
2. 2. Lay apples into pan in a single layer and cook until fruit begins to caramelize, about 5 minutes.
3. 3. Pour Calvados into pan. Use a long match or candle lighter to ignite alcohol. Boil until flames subside, 1 minute. Remove from heat and serve with premium ice cream or creme fraiche. I recommend Recipe #144139.
4. *Demerara sugar is a type of unrefined sugar with a large grain and a pale to golden yellow color.
